My thoughts exactly. Connery, Moore, Brosnan, they were entertaining, amusing, yes - but not really representing the Bond from the books. Craig was closest to that. Also, a split, somewhat broken character, not so smooth and streamlined.

Judy Dench was the best M, for comparable reasons.

The word dueling between Craig and Eva Green in the train probably is the wittiest piece of dialogue in all the series. I still laugh today.






Many good title songs.
